Braswell’s Hampton Manor nursing home of Yucaipa, California along with three people have been charged with one felony count of elder abuse causing great bodily injury. The nursing home abuse is alleged by a criminal complaint filed by the California Attorney General’s Office.

The abuse allegedly happened last August. The nursing home, along with two people, were recently arraigned and pleaded not guilty, with a third person scheduled for video arraignment.

Two of the accused are due in court March 12 and were released on their own recognizance.
